India pioneered several innovative approaches and brought a paradigm shift in TB prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) Global TB Report 2024 acknowledges the efficacy of these novel approaches and reports a 17.7% decline in TB incidence in India from 2015 to 2023—double the rate of global decline. The country diagnosed 251,000 patients and marked a significant rise in treatment coverage from 53% (2015) to 85% (2023).
India has a unique universal nutritional support scheme—the Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana for TB patients. To date, ₹3,202 crore have been disbursed to over 11.3 million beneficiaries. The monthly support under Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana was doubled to ₹1,000 per month from November 1, 2024, to reinforce India's commitment to end TB.
